When it comes to transferring a patient from one place to another, we want to ensure the patient’s safety, comfort and wellbeing along the way. There are several factors to consider when transporting a patient. These include the patient’s condition, the distance, equipment, team of medical professionals, and the facility transferred to. The Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems (CAMTS) and the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems Europe (CAMTS EU) accredited BDMS emergency services and awarded a seal of quality for medical transport services. These accreditations are considered the most prestigious certifications a medical transport service can achieve. Accreditations are granted to medical transportation services that demonstrate compliance to standards and demonstrate their ability to deliver high quality services.

Dr. Trin Charumilin, MD., the president of BDMS Emergency Services, chose the CAMTS accreditation as it is the worldwide standard for medical transport services. This ensures the highest quality and safety in medical transport services. In order attain CAMTS accreditation, the medical transport service must pass a rigorous review of all their services including the company’s mission and vision statements, management, medical care, transportation vehicles, vehicle maintenance, communications, medical transportation personnel, heliports, infection controls, legal policies, ethics, and trained health care professionals.

In addition, quality assessment is conducted regularly in order to improve the quality of services, risk control and management.

Dr. Trin explains that BDMS Emergency Services are dedicated to improving the quality and safety of medical transport services for patients in need of basic and advanced life support, critical care and specialty care. A CAMTS-accredited medical transport service demonstrates to the public that it cares about the quality of patient care and safety and is committed to providing a highly proficient and professional service. The comprehensive audit provided by CAMTS to determine compliance with accreditation standards provides a medical transport service with the ability to identify opportunities to streamline costs and enhance effectiveness and also incorporates a risk management program and comprehensive training in the BDMS Simulation Center.
